Trees That Please Nursery has been growing a Pomegranate Tree that had it's origin in Afghanistan. It has been in the ground outside now for several years and even went through a winter where the low temperature reached -19 degrees F. This year it produced flowers for the first time in July and August.

Several small fruits were produced and we tasted it for the first time on October 25th, 2014.

Taste was tart sweet.

We hope to make this variety available in the near future. Prior to growing this pomegranate we have had the variety "Wonderful" planted but it has a tendency to die back to the ground each winter. This new variety does not die back to the ground during winter.

During October Pink Lady Apples are on Sale
at Trees That Please Nursery!

The
Pink Lady Apple tree, also known as Cripps Pink, was developed in Australia
from a cross between Golden Delicious and Lady Williams. It is a late season
apple ripening in October. In fact, at the nursery we have a few Pink Lady
trees with ripe apples on them now.

These
trees went through our late frosts this spring and managed to produce a few
fruits. Pink Lady apple trees require a long, warm growing season for best
growth and development so should be ideal for many areas around New Mexico.

Pink
Lady apples are both sweet and tart to the taste. They are good for fresh
eating, pies, and sauce. They will keep for about 3 months in cold storage.

Pink
Lady apples are not self-fertile and so require a second different apple
variety nearby for pollination.

If
Pink Lady Apples are one of your favorites come in during our October Sale and
save. We also provide planting and care descriptions with every purchase!

Imagine that
first bite, it almost splashes onto your cheeks and lips with sweet goodness.

If you have been
thinking about adding a peach tree to your backyard orchard then act now while Trees That Please
Nursery is having their Annual October Sale!

Peach trees are
discounted and we have several varieties to choose from including:

Elberta

Pixie Peach

Polly White

Reliance

These peach varieties
are self-fertile so you only need one tree to get fruit!

Pixie Peach is a
genetic dwarf and only gets about 6’ tall and wide, so makes a good choice if
you have only limited space available. Polly White Peach is a white fleshed
variety with excellent flavor!

Most Peach Tree varieties also have great fall color - something extra to enjoy!

our primary factors in choosing any fruit tree variety for our area. In
addition, we try to stock “late-blooming” varieties to help get past our late
frosts.

You are invited
